In addition, it features improved autofocus performance and has been updated to the latest lens design, enhancing overall operability. The lens is also compatible with the TAMRON Lens Utility(TM) that lets you customize practical functions for both photography and videography. Retaining the mobility and versatility of its predecessor, the 16-30mm F2.8 G2 unlocks new creative possibilities.
With the release of the 16-30mm F2.8 G2 ultra wide-angle zoom, the fast G2 trinity, "Daisangen" [1], is now complete [2] alongside the standard zoom 28-75mm F2.8 G2 (Model A063) and 70-180mm F2.8 G2 (Model A065) telephoto zoom. Together, these lenses cover the extremely versatile 16mm to 180mm range, making them ideal for virtually any scene. Experience the perfect blend of performance and functionality, making professional-level photography more accessible than ever.
1. The term "Daisangen" originates from the game of mahjong, where it refers to a winning hand made by collecting three sets of dragon tiles. Drawing from this concept, the photography industry uses the term "Daisangen lenses" in Japan to describe a set of three zoom lenses-a wide-angle, a standard, and a telephoto-all featuring a constant F2.8 aperture throughout their zoom range.
2. For Nikon Z mount, available only with 16-30mm F2.8 G2 and 28-75mm F2.8 G2 as of June 2025.
